Welcome to The Morning Pride, ThinkProgress LGBT’s daily round-up of the latest in LGBT policy, politics, and some culture too! Here’s what we’re reading this morning, but please let us know what stories you’re following as well. Follow us all day on Twitter at @TPEquality.

– At least two transgender women have successfully filed claims of anti-trans discrimination, thanks to rulings by the Department of Justice based on legal guidance from the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission that Title VII’s protections against sex discrimination include gender identity.

– Still, these protections are not spelled out or reliable guaranteed, which is why Lambda Legal says the victory it helped secure is all the more reason to pass the Employment Nondiscrimination Act, codifying the protections into explicit law.

– Did Weber State University, a public school in Utah, fire one of its professors because he opposed naming a family program after an anti-gay Mormon leader?

– Greece has reinstated a controversial measure that allows police to force HIV tests upon individuals they arrest, and could lead to unfair targeting of drug users, sex workers, and undocumented migrants — possibly even evicting them from their homes.

– Anglican Mainstream, an anti-gay religious group in the UK, compared the passage of marriage equality to the rise of Nazi Germany.
